jellyfin_ha Repetitive threads when connecting over https

Jellyfin integration worked just fine with previous HA versions, but after upgrade to 2021.11, today, I get a message logged every 2 to 3 seconds:

Thread count goes up, session-id different every time. I have disabled the integration for now, as this slows down this considerably and I don't want my logfile to blow up. Any idea what is happening?

Thanks!

Hi, any idea on what is going on here? There is no change with 2021.12. Unfortunately my log does not tell me more than I quoted above. This renders the extension unusable for me - I have not tried, but I assume that opening new threads every few seconds will not take long to crash the server.

Hi, still wondering. Now on HA 2022.2.2 and Python3.9 (Python 3.8 previously), Ubuntu 20.04. I still see the same log entries, a new thread 2-3 seconds. What could be going on? When I connect to Jellyfin over http (localhost:8096) the connection is fine and there are no log entries. However, in this case I don't see album art in HA (because I access HA via https, and the browser refuses to show mixed http/https content). But when I connect to the public-facing https reverse proxy, I get the new thread connecting every 2-3 seconds.
